6 Facts You Need to Know About Eggs Freezing and Improving Your Fertility

1. Deferring childbearing from twenties until late thirties or forties is alluring for women driven by their career, even beyond motherhood. In October 2014, Facebook and Apple made a public statement that they will pay for elective egg freezing for female employees. While there are other companies too in the West, which are covering the cost of elective egg freezing, Indian organizations and Indians haven't yet embraced the concept.

2. 1. What are the benefits of egg preservation?  A large number of women are fiercely career-oriented and are postponing marriage and consequently childbirth. Once you are ready to start your family, in yours 30s, you can use these preserved eggs.  Early preservation is beneficial. Age is important because eggs start growing old in your 30s. Also, fertility declines with age. It is advisable to not freeze eggs if you are 35+.  Abnormalities happen when someone preserves eggs at the age of 35 or 36 and uses them later; the eggs are old by then.  The number of eggs is genetically fixed at birth. From the time of puberty till the age of 35, eggs start depleting with time. Girls should take the Anti-Müllerian Hormone (AMH) test to detect fertility. The AMH test measures the ‘ovarian reserve' and identifies if a woman has fertility lower than expected for her age. Visit us - http://www.seedartbank.com/ or Call us at +91-9555544422/26
